When he was asleep, Taufan can feel a soothing feelings from the area that feel painful.

"Go rest.", the Reverse said to him with a grumpy voice.

Taufan is confused, "is this your doing?", Taufan asked him, the pain on his chest is decreasing.

"Shut up won't you? I tried to easen the pain.", the Reverse said to him with an annoyed voice.

Taufan feel so touched, "Thank you.."

"Shut up.", The Reverse said, Taufan can hear his embarassment.

Taufan smiled and do what he said.

Maybe taking a little rest is fine. He thought.

Taufan slowly open his eyes, his body feels better, he didn't know that the Reverse care about him this much.

When he opened his eyes, he found Hali who is still sitting as he furrowed his eyebrows, he still reading the book that he read before Taufan asleep.

"Still reading that book?", he asked Hali with a chuckle.

Hali's attention is now on him, "you woke up.."

"I don't understand how you can read this kind of books everyday, it's so boring and filled with nonsense.", Hali complained to him.

"Anyway, how is your feeling?", Hali asked him as he put his hand on Taufan's forehead.

Taufan gave him a grin, "much more better!" , he said with an energetic voice.

"You.. aren't lying right?", Hali asked him as he furrow his eyebrows.

Taufan shook his head, "nope, i really feels better."

"Good then.", Hali said, he sounds relieved.

"Anyway where is everyone?", Taufan asked him.

"In the main room.", Hali answered.

"I wanna see them.", Taufan said to Hali.

These days Taufan always feels the urge to see his brothers, to make sure that they are okay.

Hali nodded, "tell me if you feel dizzy."

°•°•°•°

The door opened automatically, revealing Hali and Taufan's figure.

"Taufan, you are awake? How do you feel?", Gempa asked him, he put down his book.

Taufan is a little bit surprised because of what he see right now.

Everyone is reading books.

Gempa and Ice read the similiar heavy books like what he used to read, and Thorn read an encyclopedia about plants, and Blaze read a picture book about how to control fire.

"How are you feeling?", Gempa asked him as he walk to him.

"Much more better!", Taufan said to Gempa with a reassuring smile.

Ice steal a glance at Taufan, Taufan realize it. His eyes is on him too. "I'm not lying.", Taufan said as he smiled.

Ice let out a soft chuckle, his eyes then focused on the book he read again.

Gempa smiled, "i'm glad, we were so worried.", he said to him as he let out a relieved sigh.

Taufan smiled, "sorry for making you worried."

"Anyway, why everyone is reading books?", Taufan asked Gempa and Hali.

"We tried to read the books too.", Gempa said.

"Ochobot explained to me, Taufan..", he said to Taufan with a sad voice.

"..what?", Taufan can feel his heart stopped at a moment, did ochobot tell them the truth?

"Why don't you tell us about it sooner?", Gempa asked him with a sigh.

"Ochobot told us that he only told you about the way to let us use our second tier form again. And the way is to expand our knowledge. That's why you read those heavy books right?", Gempa asked him as he pat Taufan's shoulder.

Taufan is still confused but a little bit relieved, "..huh?"

So, you didn't tell them the truth.

"From now on we will read these books too, don't struggle alone, Taufan.", Gempa said to him as he hug him.

"It may sounds too much, but..when you fainted, it scares me so much.." ,Gempa said to him, he is afraid.

He didn't know why, but he is so afraid.

He thought he will lose his brother.

Taufan return the hug too, "i'm sorry for making you worried."

Blaze and Thorn run toward them and jump onto them too. "We are glad that you are alright, Taufan!", Thorn said to him.

Taufan laughed, "thank you, guys."

"From now on, no books after 8 PM okay? Everyone will try to read those books too so you shouldn't force yourself.", Gempa scolded Taufan.

Taufan could only nod obediently, "..okay.",

"Good boy.", Gempa pat his head, he let out his motherly gentle smile.

°•°•°•°

"Ochobot.", Taufan said when Ochobot went to Taufan's room.

Ochobot's expression looks serious.

Taufan smiled, "thank you..", his voice is sincere.

Ochobot asked him, his voice hides a little bit of sadness. ".. what for?"

"For keeping our promise.", Taufan smiled.

"You mean..,for lying to them?", He asked Taufan, his digital eyes looks complicated.

Taufan let out a sad smile, "you can say so.."

"You are so cruel Taufan.", Ochobot said, his voice cracked.

"You are so cruel!", he said, but Taufan could hear a sob.

"You made me lied to the people who are precious to me, you made me keep this secret..", He cried as he keep down his voice low.

Taufan reach him and embrace him, "i know, i'm sorry.", he said, he hugged him.

"..you,you make me pretend that everything is fine.", He cried, he hugged Taufan.

"How should i face them?..how should i face you?", Ochobot asked him, his voice is desperate.

"When i know that..that your soul is decreasing, i should pretend like there's nothing wrong?", He asked Taufan, but he didn't need an answer.

What he need is the fact that Taufan is dying changed.

Taufan is silent, he let Ochobot rant at him, he pat Ochobot. "I'm sorry."

"But yes, please do so..",Taufan said to him.

I'm sorry Ochobot.

Ochobot cried, "..after that person who is called Solar is here, you should find a way to stop your soul to dissipate.."

"He is smart right? He might have a way..", Ochobot said to him, his face filled with hope.

Taufan feels that he hurt Ochobot too much.

He didn't want to hurt his dear friend even more, with a smile he nodded. "Okay, dont worry about that."

Even to a person who deeply care about him, all he can do is lying.

You are so cruel, Taufan. Taufan said to himself.
